A hairstyle where the sides are shaved, leaving a 2-3" strip down the middle. Originaly worn by the Iroquois and other Native American tribes. Back then the hair was either plucked by hand or shaved with clam shells.

Mohawk hair cuts became si-nonymous with the Punk scene, other variations are the bihawk and trihawk.

Once, the punkest hairstyle on the planet, adapted and adopted from various native North Americans, including the Huron and Blood tribes. The originators of the mohawk style in punk circles were Wes Beech (of US band Plasmatics) and Rainy (of UK band Discharge). The punks went on to spike their mohawks with soap, eggwhite, glue and hairspray, as the Native Americans had with buffalo grease, before going into battle. A hairstyle which used to guarantee ridicule and abuse from braindead trendies. Since David Beckham's half-arsed style around 2000, the mohawk has become trendy and acceptable, so what's the point?

Now these trendy sheep think a mohawk's cool, I think I'll grow a comb-over instead.
